Chapter 2 "Sasuke's first Friend"


"Shut up, and play the stupid game, dobe!" The Uchiha snapped back at the blonde before he ran back out to play. Well Sasuke was acting more like Sasuke now… That was good, right? Naruto brushed himself off and sighed.

The next few classes Sasuke and Naruto didn't share, but when science came around they both knew they'd see each other. Sasuke walked through the halls and found his thoughts on Naruto again. Why was he popping in his brain? He knew he was jealous, but he was more jealous of the people who were his friends because they were Naruto's friends.

Sasuke arrived at his class before anyone else. Sitting in the very back Sasuke set his stuff down and put his chin over the top of his hands. Blankly staring at nothing, the raven hair boy wouldn't have noticed the blonde if he hadn't been so loud. He was chattering to Kiba, and Sasuke realized he was staring at him. Naruto kept glancing to the back of the class where Sasuke sat, and Sasuke looked away.

As soon as the bell rang Naruto shut up and scurried to his seat. The teacher explained a few things about the lab they were doing before calling out the partners. Naruto frowned as Kiba was partnered off with Shino. The teacher came upon one of the last pairs, "Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke stood after the last pair was called and headed for the tables in the back of the room. Sitting at a smaller table he waited for Naruto. Naruto had just realized his partner was Sasuke, and since Sasuke was already sitting alone at the rather small table he decided to get the things needed for their lab. He was careful not to spill anything as he made his way back to the table.

Setting the supplies down Naruto smiled brightly, "We're running into each other a lot lately, huh?" He was trying to be nice, since Sasuke wasn't being mean, and things were going good!

"We are, aren't we?" Sasuke said looking around, no one else had sat at the table. Probably because Naruto would mess up their projects or they thought Sasuke was too rude, or the table was too small for another group, or some odd reason like that… Sasuke started right away with the project, but Naruto was really lost.

Naruto asked, "What is that suppose to mean? It makes no sense at all!" He was frustrated with their science lab and it had only been ten seconds.

Sasuke said softly, "Just copy my answers, they're right, and we're partners… We're suppose to help each other… And I really don't feel the need to explain this." He handed Naruto the paper, he had finished writing the answers down before Naruto had even got to the table. Naruto on the other hand was still stuck on writing his name down.

Naruto read through Sasuke's answers, he kept asking questions Sasuke refused to answer. "I told you I don't feel the need to explain." Sasuke said trying not to get too angry with him. He yawned a little and sat back… They didn't really need the supplies, because Sasuke had already known the answers.

"But I-" Naruto started but was cut off by Sasuke.

"Why do you have so many friends Naruto-kun?" Sasuke asked quietly. He wanted to ask that question so many times, but he never had until then. Naruto didn't make friends until high school, but he still had friends! Sasuke on the other hand, never had a friend.

"What? Well probably because, I uh, I don't know actually… I don't have that many friends…" Naruto said blinking. "Why? You're the one who could make a lot more friends then I could.

He sighed, "Not really, you could make a lot more than me, and you already have." He crossed his arms and looked away.

Naruto blinked some more and then continued to write down the answers, "You're kind of anti-social… Maybe you should try talking with someone? I mean it's not that hard."

"What do you think I'm doing Naruto-kun?" Sasuke said with a faint smile, "Do you think, we can be friends?"

"Your friend?" Naruto looked up, seeing the small smile made Naruto smile and he said happily, "You want me to be your friend?" He was glad that Sasuke wanted to be his friend! He agreed, "Of course I'll be your friend!"

"Really? I mean you have so many friends, it won't be any trouble?" Sasuke asked surprised... The blonde would actually be his friend? And he thought he was the one hated.

"No trouble at all! I'm glad you want to be friends! We can hang out today after classes get out! It'll be fun… Unless you're doing something…" Naruto said, quieting down when he said the last sentence. It wasn't the place to get all excited.

"No, I'd like to do that. We could go to my room?" Sasuke suggested taking the paper back as Naruto finished coping. "Or your room... Which ever."

Naruto nodded, "How about my room? Kiba will be studying in the library after classes today, so I have no one to hang out with!" He was kind of glad now that Kiba wasn't going to be there… Kiba and Sasuke never got along, ever.

"Okay…" Sasuke said with a slight smile that faded rather quickly. He started to clean up the lab just a few minutes before the bell was suppose to ring.

When all the classes ended Sasuke had taken his stuff back to his own room before going to Naruto's room. He walked down the hall with the slip of paper Naruto had given him. It had his room number written on it in Naruto's sloppy handwriting. Sasuke had already memorized the dorm number.

Knocking on the door Sasuke waited patiently for the blonde to answer, and he couldn't believe he was actually friends with Naruto… But he could help but think he liked the other boy more than that…
